Inflate
Check Tire Pressure Weekly
Especially before a long trip to prevent performance or safety issues.
Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency and causes uneven wear-and-tear on tires' outside edges, which could result in failure and blowout
Over-inflation causes wear-and-tear to the center of the tire, which could result in separation from the belt, poor handling of vehicle and a harsh ride.

Inspect

Check tire tread depth periodically
Check for proper inflation guidelines for your Volvo (Owner's manual or on the driver's side door jam)

Replace

Replace tires when the tire tread wears down
Low tire tread causes less traction with the road and hydroplaning which results in poor handling of your Volvo vehicle.
2/32" is the minimum legal tire tread dept in most states

What’s Wrong With My Volvo?

Usually, that’s the question (sometimes muttered aloud into the empty cabin of your vehicle) that heralds all sorts of undesirable maintenance issues. As that old saying goes: “If a car makes a sound once, don’t fret. But if it makes it again, bring it into the auto service shop.” Since we can’t hear it through the contact form, we won’t be able to tell you what’s wrong right off the bat, but we can help you analyze what it might be so you can come in and give us a more educated idea of what’s wrong with the vehicle than just stating that it’s making funny noises and leave it up to us to merely guess at what’s wrong and hope we’re right. You live with your Volvo—you’re familiar with its quirks and little oddities that make it yours—which means you’ll know better when something is wrong and you can help us pinpoint which exact piece of the ever-running, moving components that make your car whole is acting up. We’ve created a short guide that can help you suss out the real problem before you search out “the best import auto maintenance near me,” in the google bar on your phone.

Are There Any Common Maintenance Issues I Should Keep An Eye Out For?

In short, that mostly depends on the model of the vehicle. Luckily there aren’t many instances you could come across where all Volvos fail. It’s a great car brand and there isn’t much you have to watch out for if you’re bringing the car in for regular import car maintenance and service at Luxury Import Auto Repair Specialist.

Is it True That Import Autos Have Finicky Transmissions?

Depends which import vehicle you’re talking about, and how often it’s brought in for the regular import car maintenance that high precision vehicles need to function at that more advanced level. Commonly, this is only ever an issue with the automatic transmission which at times may develop issues shifting due to neglect.

Satisfied Luxury Import Auto Repair SpecialistCustomer Review:

"So I had this problem with my car! All kinds of lights on the dash came on and thought the worst……so did most of the shops I took it too by the prices they gave me, then I found Luxury Import Auto Repair Specialist. The owner and staff were super friendly and took the time to get to know myself and the issues with my vehicle, not my wallet(nice change of pace from most small businesses). After about 20 minutes of checking everything over Syd told me no problem to fix at all and told me what the problems were. An hour later I was on my way with a smile and a fixed car. Simple diagnostic issue. They even fixed my motorcycle for me. Very versatile education of all aspects of motors from what I can tell. I’ll definitely be back, thanks Luxury Import Auto Repair Specialist!"

“You Can Tell He Loves What He Does”

We were having issues with our BMW. Sydney and his team did a thorough job to determine the extent of the issue. He always gave us very thorough information about the problem and several recommendations on how to proceed. He also helped identify the manufacturing recalls that needed to be repaired. We found Sydney to be extremely knowledgeable and honest, and he does great work. You can tell he loves what he does.

Sydney and the Kudos team have been taking care of our 2004 SL 500 for more than a year now. We have been extremely satisfied them and they receive our highest recommendation. During this time period the car has had several major issues. The Kudos team has methodically and professionally worked through each situation with great tenacity and solved each problem. Sydney has kept in close contact with us through the process with phone calls and text messaging, sometimes 2 and 3 times a day! He has also saved us a ton of money compared to the Mercedes dealers in the area. If you are looking for an organization that will treat you fairly and resolve your auto issue at a fair price, choose Kudos. You will be very happy with your decision.

“I Trusted Their Judgement and Expertise”

Regarding my first visit to Kudo’s and working with David I would like to express the following experiences: I brought my 1998 740i BMW (118K miles) in for handling and radio problems. David handled my service write-up in a very thorough manner and suggested a complete diagnostic work-up to evaluate my vehicle’s overall condition… known and unknown issues. The diagnostic report indicated more serious issues that even I knew of. David and Syd both reassured me that if I placed my vehicle in their hands I would be very well pleased at the results. I trusted their judgement and expertise. The outcome was to put it simply, AMAZING! I received my vehicle in great shape with all the minor and major problems gone and the performance of the vehicle was almost as it was when I originally purchased it in 1998. What an absolute joy to feel the power and performance of this incredible vehicle again. Kudo’s to Kudo’s!
